Tangent_Construction 

You can construct a line that is tangent to a circle or curve with these steps:

  1. Select ebd_Ebd164  the circle or curve. You can also select a point on the curve so that the tangent goes through the point on the curve.
  2. Click the Tangent tool ebd_Ebd165  or select Tangent from the Construct menu.

A line tangent to the selected curve will appear at the point where you selected the circle or curve, or at the selected point.
